Care and Cleaning

CLEANING THE DOORS

Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

DROP DOWN DOORS

Remove the door inner glass as follows.

1.Open the door fully and remove the extrusion end caps (This should be done by hand but if it proves too difficult, simply lift the inner glass to ease the end caps out of position).

NOTE: If you need to use a tool - be careful not to damage the extrusion or end cap.

2.Carefully slide the inner glass towards you and withdraw it from its locating slots. Ensure that the door is not allowed to slam shut, due to the reduction in door weight. Clean the glass as described above.

3.The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.
